What is the Tourdeboland?
The annual Tourdeboland is a week-long recreational cycling holiday around the beautiful Western Cape, South Africa. Roll at a comfortable pace through a landscape dotted with vineyards and olive groves, traverse stunning, cycle-friendly mountain passes, and relax over local food in the evenings with your fellow riders. As your ride captains guide you to your next destination, your luggage is transported for you and awaits you in your room. A support vehicle is available for anyone who needs a break, and we provide mechanical support for punctures and minor mechanical issues. We take care of everything for you. You just enjoy the scenery and the ride!
6 or 10-day options: Enjoy the six-day tour through the Boland, or stick around for the iconic Cape Town Cycle Tour (formerly Argus) and circumnavigate the peninsula in the world’s largest individually timed cycle race. Your race entry is included in the 10-day price.
